Jordan Wike, son of the Federal Capital Territory Minister, Nyesom Wike, on Wednesday produced his American passport before the FCT High Court in Abuja in a suit over an alleged $2.1m land transaction.
The suit was filed by Safwan Garba GY and GY Global Oil & Gas Nigeria Limited, who alleged that Jordan collected $2.1m to facilitate the acquisition of 30 hectares of land in the Katampe and Guzape areas of Abuja.
Jordan has denied receiving the money and said he had no knowledge of the transaction.
The passport became central to the proceedings after Jordan told the court on Monday that he was outside Nigeria on September 26, 2025, the date the claimants alleged the money was delivered to him in Abuja.
He said he travelled out of the country with his American passport and could produce it if required.
Counsel to the claimants, Hamza Dantani, subsequently asked the court to order Jordan to produce the document. Justice Sylvanus Oriji granted the application and adjourned the case until Wednesday.
At Wednesday’s sitting, Jordan presented the passport to the court.
During Monday’s proceedings, Jordan, represented by Senior Advocate of Nigeria, Ogwu Onoja, adopted his statement on oath and maintained his denial of the allegations during cross-examination.
Dantani also asked him to write his full name and signature five times each on a plain sheet of paper. The defence did not object, and the court granted the application.
The claimants alleged that they met Jordan in London and later engaged him over the proposed acquisition of the Abuja properties. They said the transaction collapsed after the payment, prompting them to demand a refund and eventually institute the suit.
The case is continuing before Justice Oriji.
